process. Software systems can be large and exhaustive testing is usually not feasible. Products released with inadequate testing can cause bodily harm, result in large economic losses, and affect the quality of day-to-day life. My primary research goal is to develop and examine new software testing techniques that may help testers to more effectively identify software defects. Software testers often intuitively test for defects that they anticipate while less foreseen defects are overlooked. My main research applies combinatorial testing strategies that may offset some degree of human bias. In addition, I also work with undergraduates on empirical studies of student programming bugs and curriculum improvements.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>A publication list is maintained <a href="http://digital.cs.usu.edu/%7Ereneebryce/research.htm">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><i style='mso-bidi-font-style: normal'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Students that would like to join our research should take one of the Software Testing courses and should enjoy and pass CS5050 (Algorithms) with an A grade.</span></i></b><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight: normal'><i style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'><span style='font-size:16.0pt; line-height:115%;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:16.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <table class=MsoTableGrid border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='border-collapse:collapse;border:none;mso-yfti-tbllook:1184;mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in'> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:0;mso-yfti-firstrow:yes;height:24.15pt'> <td width=1104 colspan=2 valign=top style='width:827.95pt;border:solid black 1.0pt; background:#F2F2F2;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;height:24.15pt;background-position-x:0%; background-position-y:0%;background-attachment:scroll'> <p class=MsoNormal><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><span style='font-size:16.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D'>Faculty:</span></b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D'> Prof. Renee Bryce<o:p></o:p></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:1;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes;height:135.35pt'> <td width=522 valign=top style='width:391.45pt;border-top:none;border-left: solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt;border-right: solid black 1.0pt;background:#DBE5F1;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;height:135.35pt; border-color:-moz-use-text-color black black;-moz-border-top-colors: none; -moz-border-right-colors: none;-moz-border-bottom-colors: none;-moz-border-left-colors: none; -moz-border-image: none;background-position-x: 0%;background-position-y:0%; background-attachment:scroll'> <p class=MsoNormal><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><span style='font-size:16.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D'>Current Students:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class=MsoNormal><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>Ph.D.<o:p></o:p></b></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span class=SpellE>Steena</span> <span class=SpellE>Monteiro</span> (PhD Candidate)</p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>M.S.<o:p></o:p></b></p> <p class=MsoNormal><span class=SpellE>Arjun</span> <span class=SpellE>RoyChoudhury</span> (M.S.
